29 May, but town rec. says b. 16 June 1653. His d. Elizabeth b. prob. in
Eng. m. 24 Nov. 1652, Nathaniel Adams; but ano. pretend. rec. says
Samuel Norden, in Geneal. Reg. XI. 202. Great variety is found in
the letters or sound of this first sch.master's name, as Porment, Pormet,
Purmount, etc. In Allen's Biogr. Dict. the trouble is avoid. but not in
a satisfactory manner.
